It was the day when Sachin Tendulkar played his best innings against Australia when India was chasing 352. Sachin played a fantabulous knock of 175 but still India lost that match by just 3 runs. Every Indian was very upset that day and we all felt more bad for sachin than for India.
It was truly a day when GOD proposed but MEN disposed.
What happens the next day is actually funny.
People put all sorts of updates on facebook, twitter etc. but there is no formal discussion because it is like coming out of a bad break up. The more you discuss about it the more it hurts.
I went to my gym the next day and met all my friends there. Everyone was quietly working out. I decided it was best not to talk about the match as guys with big muscles are “presumed” to be bad with emotions. (infact all the guys… muscle or not… they are like mascara…. Start running at the sight of emotions)
After some time the guy on the radio said something about the match and then everyone just vented out their emotions.
One guy said, “ it was all fixed man. Otherwise who gets out when there are just 17 runs to win!! Sab satta hai !! “ ( he would probably take a break up pretty badly.)
Other guy cursed ravindra jadeja and the tailenders saying that they couldn’t even get 17 runs.
I pointed out that the top order got out in single figures. This turned the direction of the entire discussion on to Dhoni and Yuvraj.
Someone said Dhoni is useless and is more interested in commercials while our gym instructor made remarks about Yuvraj’s love life.
A ganguly fan who was still nostalgic about the time Dada lead the team said that Dada should be recalled to the team and made the captain.
It was so funny to see so many comment come up. It always happens. Whenever India loses a match every single Indian has a suggestion as to what should have been done.
This love hate relationship will always continue till the time cricket remains a religion in India.
Not to mention our workout for that day was neglected and our gym instructor had to interfere in our discussion to stop it.
But seriously, Wadda innings!!!
